Is it possible to use Outlook Web Access account via Outlook (PC Access)?Is it possible to use Outlook Web Access account via Outlook (PC Access)?
"JethroUK©" <reply@the.board> wrote in message Outlook Web Access is a web-based method for accessing an Exchange mailbox. news:OMnXBVypJHA.4372@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Is it possible to use Outlook Web Access account via Outlook (PC Access)? Outlook Web Access requires Exchange because it's part of Exchange. There really is no such thing an an "Outlook Web Access account". It is an Exchange account. You don't set up accounts in OWA. Outlook is a PC-based client used for accessing an Exchange mailbox, a POP mailbox, an IMAP mailbox or a WIndows Live mailbox. Clearly, then, given an Exchange mailbox, one can use either Outlook Web Access or the Outlook client to access that mailbox. In Outlook you can create an Exchange account - an account that uses your Exchange credentials and the MAPI protocols to access the same mailbox that you can access using OWA. Does this answer your question? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] only if the OWA url begins with http:// - it will not work with https://
accounts. And you need a version of outlook that supports the HTTP protocol. -- Show quoteHide quoteDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-requ***@lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQU***@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

The company have just moved to Outlook Web Access (from Outlook) and i personally find it unusable - most of the features i use daily are not included (10 jillion messages per day and no filters???) i have since learned there are two versions (chopped & full versions) OWA software wasn't installed on my PC - i just accessed it directly via internet explorer - so now i'm wondering how do i get the full version if 'no' version has been installed? ..

Where did you learn that from? Are you referring to OWA Light option on the login web page? OWA Light gives you fewer features but faster access.

It's a web "application". All you need is Internet Explorer version 6 or later (for full feature) or any other web browser (Mozilla, Safari etc). Think of other web based email such as gmail, yahoo, hotmail. You don't have to install any software on your PC to access your mailbox. OWA is another web based mail.

its not cheap. You need an x64 computer with at least 4GB ram, Windows 2003 or 2008 + Exchange or you could get SBS2003 or 2008. You'll also need your own domain and an internet acct that allows you to run your own mail server.

IE will get you more features than Firefox. But it isn't like the Exchange admin can install one but not the other, although I'd wager they could lock all users into Light if they wanted. Maybe.
